Growth Hormone near me in Mohali









The Growth Hormone test is a blood test that measures the level of growth hormone (GH) which is produced by the pituitary gland and helps regulate growth, metabolism and overall body composition. This test helps diagnose GH-related disorders such as Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD), Acromegaly, Gigantism, pituitary tumors etc. This test is available at an affordable price in Mohali with Tata 1mg labs.
The Growth Hormone test is often used to diagnose conditions caused by GH deficiency or excess. Deficiency of GH can cause a lowered production of pituitary hormones (hypopituitarism). Excess GH is most often due to a pituitary tumor (usually benign) that produces GH. It helps assess pituitary gland function, identify underlying conditions and monitor treatment response.
An overnight fasting for 8-12 hours is required. However, drinking water is acceptable. Make sure to be at complete rest for 30 minutes prior to sample collection.








What does Growth Hormone measure?
The Growth Hormone test measures the concentration of growth hormone (GH) in the blood, which reflects its secretion from the pituitary gland. Unlike many hormones that remain stable, GH levels can fluctuate significantly throughout the day, influenced by factors such as sleep, physical activity, and stress.
This test evaluates the adequacy of growth hormone production, which is essential for normal growth and development in children. In adults, appropriate GH levels are crucial for maintaining healthy body composition, regulating fat metabolism, and preserving muscle mass. Abnormal GH levels can indicate various health conditions, making this test vital for diagnosing and managing disorders related to growth hormone imbalance.
